ca6bd29ed8 Solve bonus part of reverse-words
InterviewCake asks "How would you handle punctuation?". Without precise specs
about what that entails, I'm supporting sentences ending with punctuation.

acf1b8c4f0 Solve InterviewCake's reverse-words
Wrote a function to reverse the words in a list of characters. A word is a
space-delimited strings of characters.

The trick here is to first reverse the entire string and then reverse each word
individually.

9fa97eab67 Solve merging-ranges
Write a function to merge meeting times. Added an in-place solution, which the
"Bonus" section suggested attempting to solve.

- Added some simple benchmarks to test the performance differences between the
  in-place and not-in-place variants. To my surprise, the in-place solution was
  consistently slower than the not-in-place solution.

fabf1c9334 Tidy up structure of briefcase
I had a spare fifteen minutes and decided that I should tidy up my
monorepo. The work of tidying up is not finished; this is a small step in the
right direction.

TL;DR
- Created a tools directory
- Created a scratch directory (see README.md for more information)
- Added README.md to third_party
- Renamed delete_dotfile_symlinks -> symlinkManager
- Packaged symlinkManager as an executable symlink-mgr using buildGo
